11:45am and cloudy and rumbles and a few umbrellas. Diamonds 2 and 3 stopped play.

 12noon and only D1 is playing ball. Still overcast, but umbreallas down for now.

 

6:30pm SATURDAY NIGHT AND WE HAVE A RAIN DELAY - MAIN DIAMOND TARPED AT 7:30PM - WAITING FOR WORD. PARK IS EMPTY EXCEPT FOR BALL PLAYERS WAITING IT OUT IN THE BEER TENT.

 

8pm - DECISION MADE!  Decided to use Softball Canada rules and top team awarded first place, so Scarborough will take first place as if they had won the 7:30pm game and Shakespeare will take second place.

The master schedule has been updated accordingly.

FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2013

OK, on a spectacular Friday evening in Kitchener we are underway and in fact we started 5 minutes early on Diamond 1 where I am hanging out in the press box / umpire change room.

Lou Davis was on the dish for this game. Game 1

Nik Hays started for the Jarvis Hallman Twins - he is a tall one.

AND I am tweeting updates at  http://twitter.com/AlsFastball/ for this game including pitching changes

Fred Follings is throwing for the Falcons. Going to T1 and Shakespeare lead Hallman 2-0 - 7:22pm

Major changes to the Peter Hallman Ballyard since I was last here in June 2012. They have cut down a lot of the trees leading into the ballpark, making it look much more open. And I actually found a decent parking spot but not too sure what the situation will be tomorrow.

Jeff Farion came in to pitch for Jarvis Hallman Twins in 4th inning.

Good sized crowd here for the first games of the tournament.

 Hill United Streaming from Kitchener Legends  first game coming up on D1 at 9pm

Made my day today when the very first ball person I ran into at the hotel was Steve Bedard, my host from two weeks ago in Cobourg. What a great weekend that was. Check out my story.

 7:44pm going to B3, score now 3-0 for Shakespeare on one run one one hit. Falcons hitting the ball rather well, one almost out of the park deep cf fence but caught by cf but the runner from 2nd scored.

 U21 Division

Game 2 - Stratford Cubs 9 - Taviscotck Merchants 0 - 5 innings

B7, game tied 3-3 and Brandon Horn with a walk off home run to win it 4-3 for Jarvis Hallman Twins.

Word on Nik Hays was he looked rusty,  ball was all over the place. Catcher had no idea where the ball was coming from.

8:45pm and teams warming up for the 9pm game - Hill United vs Niagara Snappers and it is streamed.

 Game 2, unofficial score in 9 innings, 7-6 for Kitchener Cubs over Sweaburg.

Game 3 - Hill United Chiefs vs Niagara Snappers

 B5 Phibbs out for Snappers and Linton in to pitch - 3-0 for Hill United

Hill won 3-0
